Who: Solomon Goldsmith (![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
sembant) & YOU.
What: Catch all for this month waddup 4/21.
When: Whenever honestly.
Where: Mostly Olympia. Olympia (if you're doing ur own thing here/unless discussed otherwise).
Warning(s): Gore(?) but nothing yet.
★ 𝓂𝒶𝓇𝓀𝑒𝓉 𝒹𝒾𝓈𝓉𝓇𝒾𝒸𝓉
[Solomon's been cordially invited to a nerd's birthday party, which means he should show up prepared. Appreciative of the third-party summons and impersonal enough to indicate he won't be staying the entire duration of. He's already holding a sack of something questionable as he peruses various inebriants. One of the worst things about this planet thus far is that none of the beverages here make sense, and the after-effects can be unpredictable.
Unless you're an old sake-drinking guy.
Currently, he's bent forward, scrutinizing an iridescent bottle of Chermugeac Mousseux -- sounds douchey enough.]
★ 𝓂𝓊𝓇𝓀𝓌𝑒𝓁𝓁 𝒽𝑜𝓁𝓁𝑜𝓌
[For all of his distaste regarding Wyver -- the smell of it, the look of it, the questionable nature of it in its entirety, Solomon spends a surprising amount of time in Murkwell Hollow. Close associates, re: Diva may be the only person on the gosh dang planet who'd know, or at least have a hunch as to why. Currently, and with purpose, he's kicking rocks (not literally) around the marsh. Same old shtick. Solomon bums around the marsh like a mallrat, irritates the local fake centipede monster(s) and gets his rocks off for the night. Feel free to have him infringe on a mission your character may be on, or catch Solomon in the midst of a heated battle with messed up appendages.
OTA fuck me up.]

His right brow twitched at that. There was that disconnection that he felt from Solomon again, just like the first time they met. How was it that they went to a one-night-stand to something like this, as if Solomon was ready to eat him up. ]
I've never believed myself capable of doing so. Diva is free to do whatever she wants.
[ It'll be a bit sad if she didn't want Reign as her bridegroom, but he could deal with that. ]
Surely you know that I'm not the only one. [ Did Solomon know about JJ? What about her rather close relationship with Keaton? ]
no subject
[Re: Diva, her freedoms. She can certainly get up to whatever -- pursue whatever. Here, she has more liberties than ever before; he's yet to complain about it, even if he dislikes many of her whims.]
The only one filling her head with nonsense?
[He knows of JJ and Keaton, but they haven't triggered him yet...]
Selling out your cohorts won't spare you.
[He's assuming, and he'll infer that as an attempt at redirection.]
no subject
What sounds like nonsense to you may mean something to her.
[ He didn't know much of Diva's past, other than she had a twin sister, but he knew that Diva starved for affection. Was he taking advantage of that fact? Not at all. Being able to have some sort of camaraderie with another vampire was a bright point in his life. ]
Just saying, in case it slipped your mind. [ As if it would. And honestly, Reign should stop pushing Solomon's buttons. Then he continued in a quieter voice. ] I don't have eternity like you or Diva does. I merely wanted to spend time with her.
no subject
In other words, you were serving yourself in the end.
[A waitress will very casually slip in-between them, briefly, setting down a pair of menus with a brief greeting before heading off. This likely isn't the first pending argument-fight she's bore witness to.]
I won't ask you to stop speaking with her, you've already done enough damage to preserve your spot.
[As a fake chevalier, something more. An abrupt withdrawal would cause nothing but grief.]
But your antics will stop today.
no subject
Reign said nothing to that, neither denying nor agreeing. The menu on the table went ignored. It wasn't as if what they wanted to order was available either. ]
So you're limiting me from having any future physical interactions with Diva, is that it? And how do you plan to stop me if I decide not to do so?
no subject
That isn't it. Diva would hold it against me, were you to cease contact.
[He'd be the obvious reason, too, considering their past conversation. It wouldn't be the first time he's over-intervened and caused her grief.]
I'm telling you to cease the intimacy of it. Refusing will only hurt her in the end, you realize...
[Kind of a death threat, yeah.]
no subject
I'm an affectionate being by nature, and I can't stop the way I am.
[ Perhaps Solomon had been envious of how easy Reign's relationship was with Diva in the way he couldn't quite do it? He didn't know, and it wasn't in his place to point it out. ]
It's not something I can wholly promise, but I know what your concern is. The only thing I can do is to draw a line between Diva and I.
[ Building a close relationship, getting intimate in at least a sibling-like level, and then when Reign were to one day die, the grief could be too much. ]
no subject
Perhaps ordinarily, but you will refrain from it in the future.
[What's that flimsy agreement? He won't be mollified so easily.]
My patience is waning, Reign.
no subject
What are you going to do, hm? You don't own me, Solomon, and thus have no right to order to do or not do anything.
[ The air seemed to shift a bit as Reign placed his elbows on the table, hands clasped under his chin. ]
I don't take kindly to being threatened.
[ If he had to use his pheromones to make a point, then so be it, though Reign regret having to use it in the midst of the human population, despite how empty the cafe was currently. ]
no subject
[A hand of his own settles flatly atop the table, his other grips the back of the chair Reign's settled on (if it's a booth, he's just resting his hand on the back of it, like a diet cicada trap).]
Choosing a public arena will have been for naught. If you're so adverse to warnings, shall we skip right to the show?
no subject
But he wouldn't allow the apprehension to show on his face. ]
What are you going to do, then, hm? Rip my head off, drink me dry?
[ Because if it came down to physical strength, Reign wasn't lacking in any way, though he had no idea that Solomon had another Chiropteran form. That would severely put him at a disadvangte. ]
no subject
You'd like that.
[For what it's worth, Reign's not the first one to bring up Solomon's monstrous capabilities without being prompted. It'd be insulting, something worth contemplating if it hadn't become a thing out of his own neglect.]
Otherwise, you'd agree to end this honorably.
no subject
He sighed, seeing this issue not going forward any time soon. ]
You were much nicer when we first met.
[ Well, no doubt the sex had been pretty excellent, there was no denying that. ]
Even if I agree, I can't stop Diva if she wants to be affectionate with me.
[ Not intimate, but affectionate, because there was a clear difference in Reign's eye. ]
no subject
[To clarify, though it's a tough admission. He's sure Reign was under a similar influence...]
That's right, and I'm sure there's no stopping that. [She has a terrible habit of lap-climbing-into, for example.] But I expect you to have more self-control, moving forward.
no subject
[ Reign had suspected as much, which came as a bit of a surprise to hear that admission. He would have figured Solomon would deny having enjoyed the sex, doping or otherwise. Come to think of it, it was the one time where Reign felt like he wanted to erase that from his mind. It had been both exhilarating and fun, but at the same time weird once he got to really know what kind of person Solomon was. ]
What do you expect me to do? Push Diva off me if she tries to climb onto my lap? [ No way was Reign planning to earn the ire of his Queen. ] I can attempt to limit my affectionate gestures, but I won't stop them. [ That was the most Reign could give him. At most, he'll just try not to display it when in Solomon's presence. ]
no subject
[He could provide something more firm than ambivalent instructions, a vague threat. Some part of him expects Reign to understand boundaries in the future, post-talk.]
I do expect you to end them, if they become inappropriate. If you're uncertain of your own discretion, I don't mind maiming you where you sit.
[Should prevent future confusion if he's handless.]
no subject
He sighed, almost feeling an oncoming headache. Was this going to be a reoccurring situation whenever they were in each other's presence? Reign didn't relish being in the same room as the Chiropteran in the future, and he was sure Solomon felt the same. ]
Again, I'll reiterate that I can't promise not to abstain all affection or similar gestures in regards to Diva, but I'll watch myself. But if Diva wants them from me, I'm not going to deny her that. I won't refuse her requests.
no subject
I'll do the same.
[Watch...him...that is. What a creepo.]
I don't expect you to upset her. [That's not a thing he wants either...] You're far more sensible than you let on.
[An underhanded compliment of sorts. Not another death threat, at least.]
no subject
As for Solomon being a creepy stalker watching him, that wasn't something Reign could put a stop to anyway. Might as well be on his best behaviour. ]
One has to if your life is on the line.
[ Haha. Either way, Reign made a subtle hand gesture for Solomon to put some space between them. Give him a breather, will you? ]
Anyway, I've given you my word. I expect you to let me on my way now.
no subject
For now.]
Right.
[He'll toss a glance in reverse in taking a step-or-so from the table.]
I'll have the waiter put your meal on my tab, for the inconvenience.
[He says inconvenience but 100% feels justified, obviously.]
no subject
How kind of you.
[ Though Reign knew better than anything that it wasn't due to Solomon's kindness that he still had his head atop his neck, or the fact that he was getting a sort of "free meal" from the man. Do they have blood on the menu? Maybe a take-away? ]
Let's not meet anytime soon, shall we?
no subject
Let's not indeed.
[Because, of course, the only other time they'd have to come together in the future would be when he'd have to rend him into pieces for overstepping his boundaries.]
Do take care, then.
